Marcello Mastroianni

***Guido Anselmi, played by Marcello Mastroianni, is surrounded by beautiful women and needy movie producers that force him to retreat to his childhood fantasies in Federico Fellini's 8 1/2. Why he would want to escape 1963 Italy I may never understand...a time and place where style oozes from the cracks in the sidewalk, being leisurly is a patriotic duty and apparently smoking in a sauna is appropriate. Just check out his sunglasses: strong shape, clean lines, great proportion. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.

Intro

This blog is not a store.It does not have a charming storefront, fashionable employees, or a discount rack. It doesn't require balance sheets, or a business plan, nor does it's survival rest in the strained arms of our economy. It is simply a concept and a dream that consumes my thoughts and pulls at my heart. Which is precisely why I've chosen this as an alternative venue. I want to create an atmosphere, here, to emulate what has not yet come to fruition out there.This blog is my store, for now.
